Chapter 347: Farewell to the Earth Crystal Spider
At the Hidden Spirit Sect, a new day dawned as the sun peeked over the Endless Sea.
After a night of cultivation, Wang Yulun appeared full of energy at the peak where the sunrise first arrived.
Though Wang Yulun looked lively, his expression was awkward, even showing a hint of reluctance.
“Qianer, if you’re fine, you can head back first. Just leave me here,” Wang Yulun said.
“Husband, I’m so glad to see you regain your fighting spirit,” Murong Qianer said, her eyes narrowing with an unmistakable smile.
Seeing his wife still lingering, Wang Yulun whispered, “Qianer, please save me some face.”
“I want to see it one more time,” Murong Qianer replied with a laugh.
By then, the sun had fully risen above the sea.
Suddenly, a mysterious force took control of Wang Yulun, turning him to face the rising sun.
Unconsciously, he took a stance, stretched his arms, and reluctantly shouted,
“Good morning, let’s embrace the sun~”
Murong Qianer covered her mouth with her hands, trying hard not to burst into laughter.
“Let your body be filled with bright sunlight.”
“Full of positive energy~~”
By now, Murong Qianer was laughing so hard she could barely stand.
After this motivational dance, Wang Yulun’s energized day began.
Meanwhile, Xu Fan was also laughing so hard he could barely stand.
“Haha! From now on, we can use this move on the lower-ranking disciples,” Xu Fan said with a proud grin, clearly pleased with the technique he had created.
And so, Xu Fan’s lazy day also began.
In the underground space, Xu Fan controlled the Iron Mischief Monkey puppet to explore the area around the Underground Base.
“Master, why are we keeping an eye on these fire ants?” Xu Yuexian asked.
The two worked together, controlling the Iron Mischief Monkey puppet to monitor the fire ants’ movements.
“Whether it’s beasts or humans, to survive in one place for long, they must follow a certain cycle,” Xu Fan explained, watching as the fire ants carried fire spirit ore back to their nest, a thoughtful look crossing his face.
There must be something unusual about this place.
“Aren’t those fire spirit ores the food for the fire ants? Isn’t that enough?” Xu Yuexian asked, confused.
“That alone isn’t enough. Here’s a simple question: how did this massive vein of fire spirit ore form?” Xu Fan replied.
By then, the Iron Mischief Monkey puppet had already started digging into the underground fire spirit ore and was mining with all its might.
“Hmm…” Xu Yuexian had never considered this question before.
“So, I believe there must be a treasure here that caused this vast red land and the formation of the fire spirit ore,” Xu Fan asserted.
This was a common trope in the novel’s plot.
“Does this have anything to do with us watching them here?” Xu Yuexian asked, looking at the swarm of fire ants ahead.
“Let’s observe the fire ants and see if there’s that treasure in their nest,” Xu Fan said.
At that moment, a small light curtain appeared before the two, showing the perspective of a fire ant.
“Since you’re bored, let’s watch together,” Xu Fan said.
“Master, your spell is amazing! When will you teach me?” Xu Yuexian asked curiously as she looked at the fire ant’s viewpoint on the light curtain.
“It’s in the Sutra Pavilion; go find it yourself,” Xu Fan waved his hand and replied.
Now, the view on the light curtain reached the nest of the fire ant.
“Looks like this fire ant has a pretty good life,” Xu Fan remarked, observing the thumb-sized fire spirit ore in the nest.
As the fire ant nibbled on a small piece of fire spirit ore and prepared to rest, a strange wave suddenly swept through. Instantly, it seemed the fire ant received a command and moved deeper into the nest.
After a long time, the fire ant finally stopped in a nest made of fire spirit ore.
“What are they doing? Are they preparing to search for food?” Xu Yuexian wondered.
“No, it feels more like a leader is about to give a speech,” Xu Fan said, focusing on the light curtain.
At that moment, a large queen ant appeared, plump and white, radiating no sense of combat power.
“Do you see this queen ant? As long as you control it, you can command the entire fire ant swarm,” Xu Fan explained.
As he spoke, mysterious energy began to radiate from his body, and he formed seals with his hands.
He planned to forcibly control the fire ant, kill the queen, and then take control of the newly born queens. He had seen records of the fire ants in the cultivation world’s Encyclopedia of Spiritual Insects, which stated that when fire ants lose their queen, a new queen can evolve from among the remaining worker ants.
According to Xu Fan’s understanding, every fire ant has the potential to become a queen.
Just as Xu Fan was about to make his move, a familiar Earth Crystal Spider emerged from the fire spirit ore.
“Ugh, why is this thing everywhere?” Xu Fan exclaimed.
The injured Earth Crystal Spider looked at the gathered army of fire ants and drooled shamelessly.
“Luckily, I’ve already escaped my mother’s control; otherwise, this good spot wouldn’t have been for me,” the Earth Crystal Spider chuckled.
“I’m ready to dig in~~”
The Earth Crystal Spider lowered its head and began to feast on the gathered fire ants, thoroughly satisfied.
“What pure fire energy! So delicious~”
At that moment, the fire ant controlled by Xu Fan was swallowed by the Earth Crystal Spider.
From the fire ant’s perspective, it felt like an apocalyptic disaster as a deep chasm gulped it and its companions down.
“This little spider is persistent.”
“What a coincidence, running into this creature every few days.”
At that moment, the only Core Formation stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey of the Hidden Spirit Sect appeared beside Xu Fan.
“Forget it; let’s negotiate. This creature is impossible to kill,” Xu Fan sighed and said after some thought.
If a fight broke out and the little spider escaped, it would expose their location and be more trouble than it was worth.
Following Xu Fan’s command, the Core Formation stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey stepped into the teleportation formation.
In the Fire Immortal Town, inside a Blacksmith Shop, the first clone watched a lump of dirt before him.
“Elder, enjoy the Luxurious Spirit Chickens,” Ertie said with a smile, his eyes full of gratitude.
If it weren’t for this elder, he and his sister would still be living a hand-to-mouth existence.
“With the spirit stones you earned, why are you still treating me to Luxurious Spirit Chickens that cost two spirit stones each?” the first clone asked.
“Thanks to your guidance, I’ve used all the spirit stones I earned to buy spirit fire. I didn’t expect you to arrive at this time,” Ertie scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Ever since receiving guidance from the first clone, he had been practicing day and night and finally managed to hammer out the most basic magical spirit sword.
“You’ve got some skills now, able to afford spirit fire. Life is looking bright,” the first clone said with a smile as he tore open the outer layer of the Luxurious Spirit Chicken, revealing the fragrant and crispy dish inside.
“All thanks to your guidance.”
